Just Ordered!
Went to the dealer last night and put the order in for a 2016 M235i xDrive!
Ended up going with these options: -Estoril Blue Metallic -Aluminum Trim w/ Estoril Blue Highlights -Technology Package -Drivers Assistance Package -Heated Seats -18" Orbit Grey 436 w/ All Seasons Called today to upgrade to the Tech Package after all that I have read highly touting it on the forums and people regretting it. I regretted not ordering the iDrive in my 135i so I know the feeling. Figure its worth it to get the nav in a safe view as well as the upgraded screen. My deal: MSRP - $51,095 Sale Price - $48,683 (paid a bit more than some other dealers were offering but this is the best dealership in the area, no shady practices here) Trade in for my 2012 135i w/ 17k - $25,000 9.5% Sales Tax (Thanks Chicago.) Looking at $26,340 after all taxes, fees, etc and if I go the trade in route. They are also putting me on the drive event for October which will give me another 1k off making the total price $25,340 Overall super happy with the price I got and cannot wait to get it! edit: change the prices as I added heated seats just before production Last edited by crbalch; 09-09-2015 at 12:36 PM.. |

I have seen plenty of threads on what people regret/don't regret getting, should I be thinking about anything else?
I think I will do the speakers with the Focals so I can skip the HK, and then regarding heated seats I basically drive from heated garage to heated garage so that might not be beneficial to me. Thoughts? |

Congrats! One thing that others seem to recommend is opting for performance tires, with the intent of switching to a set of winter wheels for the colder months. This may be less important with xDrive, but it may still be worth considering since you're in Chicago.

Honestly I did get through ~12 NJ winters in a FWD 2001 Maxima with crappy AS tires, so I think you'll be fine.

Honestly, I'd go with the cold weather package. It's cold in Chicago. I'm in New England and the one feature I have learned to love is the heated steering wheel. The package includes heated seats, heated wheel, and headlamp washers. At $500 for the heated seats and $700 for the full package, I think it's a no brainer.

Going with heated seats only also has the side benefit of not paying for a heated steering wheel if you plan on upgrading to an M Performance steering wheel at some point; you lose the feature if you do that.

Also, I dont really like the look of the headlight washer covers on the bumper. CWP is one I dont think I will regret. In all honesty, the heated seats arent even for me, they are for my girlfriend. I personally hate them but am getting them for her and the resale value haha. I drive from heated garage to heated garage for my work commute, so day to day should be fine. |
